A mother who was slammed for putting her twins in separate cribs shut down her critics by sharing adorable videos showing how her babies go from embracing to biting each other over the wooden bars.
35-year-old Lauren Berty from Virginia shares TikTok clips of her twins Ever-Grace and Shiloh playing together.
But when she was slammed for keeping the siblings apart when it was time for them to sleep, the mother-of-three was quick to hit out at her critics.
Videos show Ever-Grace and Shiloh cuddling each other before they started fighting and pulling each other’s hair.
The siblings are ‘lovey dovey’ during the day but fights suddenly erupt in the middle of the night, forcing the mother-of-three to stop their bad behavior.
“The twins like cuddling and kissing and I’d get a lot of comments from people saying, ‘Why do you keep them separated in their cribs?’ Lauren said.
“It was funny to me. Yes, they love each other, but they fight just as hard,” she continued.
“So I decided to put all the videos from the baby monitor together. I got moments where they weren’t being super lovey-dovey and having real twin sister moments.
“It was a response to people asking why I don’t let them sleep in the same crib.”
From playing and cuddling each other to chomping down each other’s fingers, Lauren’s video shows the two sides of siblings’ relationship.
“’Ever-Grace will one day probably want to kill me for saying this, but it’s true – she’s the most emotional one,” Lauren revealed.
“She’s the first to want to hug and kiss, but also the first to start every fight. Every single fight involves her going for it and Shiloh not really reacting for a little bit.”
The mother-of-three also said that she doesn’t intervene in every fight as it helps the twins figure out conflict resolution.
“There will be times were it looks like they’re about to start fighting but they just hug instead,” she added.
